from today's star bulletin:
i knew this was going to happen, sooner or later. seven years ago, a friend of mine was hired to work in their kitchen. within three days he quit out of disgust. he said management either encouraged kitchen practices that were completely insanitary, or management constantly chose to look the other way when the staff did things that they shouldn't do. there was no practice of separation of meat from vegetables so bacterial contamination was a statistical likelihood. the guy training my friend told him to put some vegetables on a broken down box that was clearly streaked with raw meat juices. the staff rarely washed their hands, even when moving from working with meat to working with vegetables. additionally, my friend was told to use the boxes that food came in as chopping boards.
i'm glad the DOH shut them down to investigate and educate. there is NO excuse for such sloppy practices in a commercial kitchen.
Sekiya's Restaurant and Delicatessen has closed temporarily since the state Health Department suspended its permit Saturday because of seven illnesses from E. coli bacteria.
...
The restaurant has been temporarily shut down while more extensive maintenance is conducted, including removal of all food products and supplies; complete disinfection and cleaning of the entire restaurant; management's and employees' attendance of a comprehensive course on food safety; and owner development of managerial controls to ensure the health code is followed.
